Unannounced visit | Undercover "quantum original plastic" will sell: claim to drink water to prevent cancer, a bottle of nearly 1,000 yuan
"Can those cancers, diabetes and atopic dermatitis that world-famous doctors are helpless, can it be cured by this kind of water?" On the afternoon of August 23, 18th floor, R&F Center, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, Shenzhen Suqi E-Commerce Co., Ltd. Wei Nengzhong, an executive of the company's Fuzhou branch (hereinafter referred to as "Suqi Fuzhou Company"), loudly promoted his company's main product-Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drinking Liquid).
As a consultant, a reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) entered the sharing session and conducted an unannounced visit.
In Wei Nengzhong's description, the original quantum plastic (mineral drinking liquid) is not only "trace element water", it is also magnetized water magnetized by quantum technology, or natural glacier water in the Alps. A 90ml bottle of mineral drink is priced at 990 yuan, implying that it has an effect on many diseases.
As soon as the passionate "sharing session" ended, many observers took out their phones and lined up to buy. Buyers may not know that Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drink) and this company have been continuously reported by Wu Naixin, an adjunct professor at Fuzhou University.
Wu Naixin introduced that he retired from the TV station in April 2017 and hosted some activities of Suqi Fuzhou Company. He believes that the so-called "quantum" series of products promoted by the company have many problems. They deceived consumers with statements that are contrary to common sense and began to report.
"Father of Quantum" and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Pan Jianwei once told the media that many of the so-called "quantum" products are exaggerated propaganda by businesses. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the laws of motion in the microscopic world. It is a modern physics concept and has nothing to do with food and beverages. relationship.
In the face of Wu Naixin's report, Suqi Fuzhou Company went to court with Wu Naixin on the grounds of "damaging the right to reputation", and the two trials ended in failure. Following reports from Wu Naixin and others, Suqi Fuzhou Company was subject to investigations and administrative penalties by some government departments. However, believers still flock to it.
On August 29, Chen Xueqin, general manager of Suqi Fuzhou Company, said in an interview with The Paper that Quantum Original Plastic (mineral drink) does not belong to medicines and health products, but belongs to the category of food and beverages. "Quantum" is just the product name, and "Quantum" "Technology" does not matter. Regarding the "quantum technology" statement repeatedly mentioned by the company's executives and employees, Chen Xueqin said that he could not represent the company's opinions, "it should be the dealers talking nonsense, and we need to strengthen guidance."
Claims that drinking water with trace elements can starve cancer cells
The 17th floor of Building A of R&F Center Building is the office of Suqi Fuzhou Company, and the 18th floor has meeting rooms for holding events. The "Health Care Sharing Session" held on the afternoon of August 23 was held on the 18th floor. The Paper participated in this sharing session as a consultant.
According to the host, Suqi Fuzhou Company was established in 2009 and is committed to health. It has been more than ten years. Due to the low threshold and other institutional advantages, a group of teams have been formed. "The group will be listed within five years and will be cultivated for the company. A group of multi-millionaires".
After a series of warm-ups, Wei Nengzhong, wearing a blue suit and a gray tie, took the stage to give a speech and promoted the company's product-Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drinking Liquid). The Suqi Fuzhou company promotional brochure provided by the staff shows that Wei Nengzhong is an executive of the company.
During the lecture, Wei Nengzhong recommended a "Trace Element Water" written by Nojima Nojima, a Japanese medical doctor, and published by Beijing People's Military Medical Publishing House. He said that the book introduced "how to increase the trace elements in the body by drinking water to prevent cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, skin diseases, etc."
Wei Nengzhong said passionately that he can understand people's doubts and negative feelings about "trace element water". "I hope that patients and friends will not be negative in the first place. You can try it."
Wei Nengzhong said that the pace of advancement in modern medicine is amazing, but modern diseases have not decreased, but are increasing. "In fact, taking the cancer with the highest mortality rate as an example, most modern diseases that plague the contemporary era require only a small amount of intake. Elemental water can really get better or healed in a short time." He said there was a case in the book. Someone “starved to death” cancer cells in one month by drinking water with trace elements, and was completely cured after three months.
"In Japan, trace element water can directly treat cancer." Wei Nengzhong said, due to the different national conditions in China, "it may take another ten or twenty years, but today we can get to know this trace element water so early. Blessed people".
Wei Nengzhong introduced that the company's main product is "trace element water", magnetized water magnetized by "quantum magnetization technology", or natural permeated water from glaciers in the French Alps. This mineral drink is rich in more than 100 kinds of natural minerals and trace elements, which can accelerate the metabolism of skin cells. At the same time, it can release a large amount of negative ions, increase the oxygen content of cells, and restore free radical cells in the body to normal cells.
Quantum original plastic (mineral drink) that is claimed to have so many magical effects is expensive—90ml of drink costs 990 yuan. In addition, the preacher also recommended other products such as gel.
The staff of Suqi Fuzhou Company introduced to The Paper that there are three main reasons for Suqi’s rapid development in the past few years: first, the company’s products are good; second, the company’s technology is good, using "quantum technology" "; Third, the company has a good system model.
The so-called "system model", the company divides the number of "franchisees" into 7 levels according to the consumption situation and development-"VIP customers", "franchisees", "special franchisees", "quasi-senior franchisees" and "senior franchisees" "Diamond Senior Franchisee". Anyone who purchases a product of 13,200 yuan to become the company's "franchisee"; after becoming a franchisee, each development of an offline franchisee will receive the company's "subsidies" of 4,200 yuan; the development of 7 offline franchisees can become a "special franchisee" ". When the offline franchisees sell or re-develop the franchisees, they can get a certain subsidy as the online franchisee. When it grows to 20 franchisees, it becomes a "quasi-senior franchisee"; develops 40 franchisees to become a "senior franchisee", and then develops more people to become a "diamond senior franchisee".
It is worth noting that Suqi Fuzhou's products are not sold on e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and Jingdong, but can only be purchased on the e-commerce platform built by Suqi Fuzhou.
Adjunct professors in universities from participant to reporter
On the same day, two consumers who claimed to have noticeably improved their health after drinking the product also took the stage to share. A participant who claimed to be the person in charge of the county-level branch of a Fuzhou subsidiary said that through continuous promotion and continuous development of offline revenue, she became a business executive from a housewife, and realized buying a car and a house within three years. Once the preaching was over, many observers gathered around the podium and began to line up to buy.
The Paper noted that this venue, which can accommodate about two to three hundred people, is full of seats. The staff on the side said that this time it was affected by the epidemic, so events were held in small venues. In the past, events were held in five-star hotels, and thousands of people often participated.
Is Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drinking Liquid) as magical as advertised? Wu Naixin, 63, disagrees.
Wu Naixin is a senior news editor of Fuzhou TV Station and a part-time professor of broadcasting and hosting at Fujian Vocational College of Art. He has hosted many programs on TV for more than 20 years. Retired from Fuzhou Television in April 2017.
Wu Naixin introduced that his wife once purchased the sanitary napkin products of Suqi Fuzhou Company and became a member; then he was developed into a "distributor". At the invitation of the company’s general manager Chen Xueqin, Wu Naixin was invited to serve as the host of company events and year-end art gala performances, as well as to hold lectures on Chinese studies and etiquette.
Wu Naixin said that after a series of contacts, it was discovered that many of the company's products were exaggerated or even obviously deceptive. After giving feedback with the general manager Chen Xueqin, she finally decided to part ways with Suqi Fuzhou Company and stand up to report.
On October 8, 2018, Wu Naixin reported the "Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drink)" of Suqi Fuzhou Branch to the Market Supervision Bureau of Taijiang District, Fuzhou City.
"The Straits Metropolis Daily" on November 8, 2018, once used "Quantum Mineral Drink" to cure all diseases? "Questioned the mineral drink sold by Suqi Fuzhou Company. The manufacturer shown on the packaging of this product is "Guangdong Dashidai Health Industrial Park Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as "Guangdong Dashidai Company"). Haidu reporter contacted Guangdong Dashidai Company. The relevant staff said that the above food production license number belongs to the company, but the company has not produced "quantum raw plastic mineral drinks" and has no relevant qualifications. "It is Shenzhen Suqimao." Used our food production license number".
Subsequently, the Haidu reporter learned from the Food and Drug Administration of Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province that the food production license number of Guangdong Da Shidai Company, and the food production license varieties are tea (type) beverages, fruit and vegetable juices and beverages, solid beverages, etc. There is no such thing as a "mineral drink". After the media reported, the market supervision and management of Taijiang District, Fuzhou City intervened in the investigation.
But for more than a year since then, the investigation has been inconclusive. Wu Naixin noticed that the "quantum mineral drink" has undergone several changes in its outer packaging. From "Quantum Original Plastic" to "Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drink)", and then to "Quantum Original Plastic (Mineral Drink)". The product category has also changed from "mineral water" to "flavored drinks" and then to "fruit and vegetable drinks" now.
Wu Naixin said that even if the "vest" is changed many times, it is obvious that the problem with this product can be seen. On the front of the outer packaging of this Quantum Original Plastic Mineral Drink, there are three lines of English labels, "Quantum Royal Drink Product of France Healthy Care Function".
"France is now a republic, with only the president and prime minister. There has been no emperor for a long time. Where is the'royal'?" Wu Naixin said.
The Paper noted that the Quantum Original Plastic Mineral Drink, which is currently on sale, clearly marked the product category as "Fruit and Vegetable Drink" on the outer packaging. The ingredients are: water, mineral liquid and lemon juice. The content of "protein", "fat", "carbohydrate" and "sodium" are all 0.
"What's in it?" Wu Naixin said. Some people said that the condition had been relieved after using it, which proved that there must be an unknown substance added to it. "The effect is the most terrible. Some patients regard it as Taking the medicine and delaying medical treatment will cause disastrous consequences."
On June 5 this year, Wu Naixin took a bottle of Quantum Original Plastic (mineral drink) to the Fujian Institute of Product Quality Inspection for synthetic colorant and selenium testing. The final report showed that lemon yellow was not detected in this Quantum Original Plastic Mineral Drink, and the selenium content was 0.83mg/kg. "The products submitted by individuals for inspection can only be used as personal reference, not as the basis for complaints and accusations. The market supervision department needs to submit for inspection and investigation in person to truly find out what is inside." Wu Naixin said.
The company involved was punished by the administrative department
The Paper noted that as early as September 25, 2018, the "News 110" column of Fuzhou Radio and Television once exposed the promotion of Suqi Fuzhou Company under the topic "Quantum products cure all diseases? You will be fooled if you buy it." "Quantum" series of products.
According to Wu Naixin’s materials provided to The Paper, on October 10 of that year, Suqi Fuzhou Company had entrusted a law firm to send a "Lawyer's Letter" to Fuzhou Radio and Television Station.
According to the "Letter from the Lawyer", the report seized the word "quantum" in the product names of "Quantum Original Plastic" and "Quantum Mineral Drink" represented by Suqi Fuzhou Company, and combined it with other publicity on the market. The analogy of other products sold based on scientific principles is wrong. The "Letter from the Lawyer" stated that the company has never introduced quantum concepts such as quantum mechanics into the promotion of its products. The so-called "quantum" is only the name of the product registration.
However, at the end of August 2020, when The Paper visited Suqi Fuzhou Company several times to inquire about products, many company executives and lecturers still advertised to visitors many times. The company's quantum product advantage lies in "quantum technology" and "quantum magnetization technology." Wait for rhetoric.
On January 2, 2020, Fuzhou Taijiang District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau made an administrative penalty decision on Suqi Fuzhou Company.
The "Administrative Punishment Result Notice" shows that: after various investigations and evidence collection, it is confirmed that Shenzhen Suqi E-commerce Co., Ltd. Fuzhou Branch has not established a food purchase inspection record system; the illegal facts of "quantum raw plastic mineral drinks" with false content on the sales label are established . The Taijiang District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued two penalties: 1. Warning; 2. A fine of RMB 56,700.
"After waiting for more than a year, I finally waited for the punishment result. There are joys and worries in my heart." Wu Naixin said, the "happy" is that this punishment decision can let some consumers know more information; the "worry" is that this punishment will affect For Su Qi, it was "drizzle", which did not affect the operation of her model too much.
Wu Naixin said that her continuous reporting has also attracted the "Allied Forces." Some people who left Suqi Fuzhou Company and questioned Suqi's products began to contact Wu Naixin to complain about product exaggeration and publicity.
In addition to the product itself, Wu Naixin also discovered that Suqi Fuzhou Company also had false publicity in the media. On March 15, 2019, the Economic Life Channel of Fujian TV Station broadcasted a TV feature related to Suqi Fuzhou Company, which lasted about 5 minutes. When interviewing the person in charge of Suqi Fuzhou Company, the background of the interview showed that the company was awarded the "China 3.15 Honest Enterprise" plaque, which lasted about 20 seconds.
This plaque is issued by two organizations-"China Brand Cultivation Committee" and "China Brand Survey Statistics Center". The Paper noted that on March 15, 2017, the Civil Organization Administration of the Ministry of Civil Affairs exposed the first batch of organizations that were not registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. "China Famous Brand Product Cultivation Committee" and "China Brand Survey Statistics Center" were all on the list. , In February 2018, both institutions were listed as illegal social organizations by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
For this reason, Wu Naixin made a report to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Taijiang District, Fuzhou City, and the Civil Affairs Bureau of Taijiang District quickly stepped in to investigate and deal with it. During the interview, the person in charge of Suqi Fuzhou Company admitted that the two plaques were purchased from the Internet, handed in false plaques, and promised that similar incidents would not occur again.
Lost the complaint against the whistleblower's reputation infringement
Facing Wu Naixin's constant reports, Su Qi Fuzhou Company couldn't sit still.
In February 2019, Suqi Fuzhou Company filed a lawsuit with the Taijiang District Court of Fuzhou City on the grounds of damaging the company's reputation. Su Qi Fuzhou Company stated that during her tenure at the company, after Wu Naixin asked the company's leaders for shares and was refused, she repeatedly spread the company's suspected illegal pyramid schemes in WeChat groups with company agents and customers, and complained to relevant departments. The malicious reporting behavior has caused a great negative impact on agents and customers, seriously affected the normal development of the company, and caused huge economic losses. The claim was 500,000 yuan.
Wu Naixin said that he had never asked Suqi Fuzhou Company for shares of the company, and indeed he had reported Suqi Fuzhou Company's suspected violations to relevant authorities. The relevant authorities have also verified that the report was legal.
On October 16, 2019, the Taijiang District Court made a first-instance judgment on the case: dismissing Suqi Fuzhou Company's appeal. The Taijiang District Court held that Wu Naixin reported the product problems to the relevant authorities in real name, and the reporting did not constitute an infringement of the reputation of Suqi Fuzhou Company, and there was no evidence that Wu Naixin had insulted, slandered, or slandered Suqi Fuzhou Company and its products. The fact that caused the reputation of Suqi Fuzhou Company.
Subsequently, Suqi Fuzhou Company refused to accept the judgment and filed an appeal.
On December 25, 2019, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court made a second-instance judgment on the case: upholding the first-instance judgment and dismissing Suqi Fuzhou Company's appeal.
The Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court believes that the focus of the dispute in this case is whether Wu Naixin's report constitutes an infringement of the reputation of Suqi Fuzhou Company. Suqi Fuzhou Company claimed that Wu Naixin had repeatedly reported maliciously on its suspected illegal pyramid schemes to the Market Supervision Administration and other national functional departments. However, the scope of acceptance of the report materials is limited to relevant organizations and not publicly promoted on public information platforms or other channels. Suqi Fuzhou The company failed to provide sufficient and effective evidence to prove that Wu Naixin's behavior caused unspecified public's appraisal of Suqi Fuzhou Company to be significantly lowered, and the reputation of Suqi Fuzhou Company was infringed.
The general manager of the branch said that "quantum" is just the product name
On August 29, Chen Xueqin, general manager of Shenzhen Suqi Fuzhou Branch, responded to the reported matter when interviewed by The Paper.
Regarding the "quantum" series products sold by the company, Chen Xueqin said that "quantum" is just the product name, and has nothing to do with "quantum technology" and "quantum magnetization technology". "We only sell products, not research and development, nor production. of".
Regarding Suqi Fuzhou's executives and employees at the sharing sessions held by their company to promote the product source "quantum technology", which has obvious effects on various diseases, Chen Xueqin said, "It should be the dealer talking nonsense. Strengthen the guidance. Some distributors get their goods from external manufacturers, so I don’t know how they promote it."
Chen Xueqin said frankly that this product does not belong to medicines or health products, but belongs to the category of food and beverages, and all materials are reported to government departments. She said, just like Jiaduobao and Red Bull, you will be more energetic by drinking, and you will not be tired. "Drink Wanglaoji for fear of getting angry, which is equivalent to this."
So, what are the main ingredients of this product? Is the source of the mineral stock solution Alpine glacier water? Chen Xueqin said that the manufacturer has provided them with some customs declarations, but this requires the supplier to know the real situation. A bottle is priced at 990 yuan, "This is the manufacturer's positioning, we are just a seller."
The operation model of Suqi Fuzhou Company has also been questioned by some people as being suspected of MLM. Chen Xueqin said that the relevant departments have come to check that there is no problem with his company’s operation model, nor does it deceive consumers. "If you take it back, if you are not satisfied, We return the goods for 60 days without reason".
Regarding the counterfeit plaque of the "315 Honest Enterprise", Chen Xueqin said that he did not know it. After the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau came to investigate, the plaque was "thrown into the trash can." Regarding the punishment imposed by the Taijiang District Market Supervision Administration in January 2020, Chen Xueqin said that it was caused by a dispute between the supplier and the manufacturer, and the company was only jointly liable. She believes that being checked for label discrepancies does not mean that there is a problem with the product itself.
Regarding Wu Naixin’s report, Chen Xueqin said that he was malicious retaliation after the unsuccessful claim for equity. The two or three years of reports and government investigations have made their company unbearable. The company once sued Wu Naixin, but lost the case.
